Janeway is a perpetrator of imperialist genocide and furthermore needlessly executed a beloved crewmember (Tuvix). I won't abide her inclusion next to the esteemed Sisko and Picard, who are both champions of diplomacy and space stuff.

Do different blood types taste different? Since you're a bloodsucker you might know

This is incredibly charming

I think this species of snail is assymetrical, which means maybe their genitals are on the right side of their body. But a snail that coils like Jeremy has their symmetry flipped and their genitals are on the left. So Jeremy wouldn't be able to reproduce with a typical right coiling snail because their organs don't align. So yeah all three snails coil to the left because that's a rare trait and needed for mating

Looking back at it I find the whole "fight" between anarchism and marxism-leninism to be very silly, but since I think that China and Hamas are actually doing useful work, this automatically makes me incompatible with many anarchists.

Yeah thus should be the main crux of things. There haven't been real conflicts between anarchists and ML organizations outside of internet posting for decades now. The closest thing I can thing is during the Burkina-Faso revolution, some of the trade unions that called themselves anarcho-syndicalists were also allying themselves with the French government.

There's just no real conflict otherwise. I've done organizations in both anarchist and ML orgs and it's 99% identical. Maybe ML groups are more willing to endorse someone in an electoral race, maybe an anarchist group will be more willing to do something like petty theft from a grocery store or squatting. That's been the only real difference I've noticed in tactics is that an ML group will usually try to stay above board and anarchist groups will commit crimes if necessary.

Otherwise there was never any real conflict. The people who comprised these movements came from largely identical political interests.

I became a Marxist in like 2003. I wish there had been podcasts and stuff back then. The best we had were just IRC channels full of very elderly Trots calling one another revisionists.

Did Hitler's genes kill Rosa Luxemburg? Did Hitler's evil chromosomes send German colonizers to Tanzania in 1884 when Hitler was negative five years old? Maybe the preconditions of fascism need more than a single person's DNA but more research is required.

There's an obsession with painting Hitler as a unique figure whose rise to power and fascist crimes were the result of a confluence of personality disorders, family history, his experiences in WW1. It's mainly a liberal thing because they really need the history of fascism to be the history of singular evil figures, rather than the result of imperialist capitalism eating itself. It would be very useful for the liberal world order to place blame on genetics or individual psychology for the machinations of history. Rather than the consequences of things like economic conditions, imperialism, class struggle, etc

So yeah you've got it right. For the longest time blame was placed on Hitler's supposedly hypnotizing public speaking skills. I guess now extrapolating his gene sequence is supposed to shed light on if being evil or fascist is hereditary, which itself sounds like eugenics

Liberals spent most of last year telling me it was of vital importance to vote for a genocide in Palestine

I prefer the country that hasn't invaded anyone in 50 years over the country that's launched an invasion every 18 months
